Tips To Avoid Stinging Insects This Summer

Schedule Now

As much as we all love the summer months, there are certainly a number of dangers associated with them that we must keep in mind when doing anything outside. Wasps, bees, and hornets are all out and about doing their thing to provide for hives of hungry larvae that are waiting for them to return with food. These stinging insects are attracted to our yards for several reasons including our sweet-smelling flower gardens as well as any other sweet smells like soda, sweet teas, and protein packed barbecue grills.

Hornets and wasps are aggressive flying insects that will angrily attack when they feel threatened in any way. They can deliver multiple stings leaving painful red welts that will last for several days. If a nest is threatened, the attack may come from several insects at once making the experience both terrifying and painful, not to mention potentially dangerous even without an allergy to their venom. Though bees are more than happy to be left among the flowers, they will sting too if they are provoked.

It is extremely important to do your part to protect yourself when doing things outside.

When hosting an outdoor dinner, make sure that any food is covered to keep hornets and wasps away. Sweet drinks should be covered as well.

Avoid any scented lotions or perfume if you are going to work in the yard. The sweet smell could attract a curious bee or wasp putting you at risk.

Wear muted colors and avoid any floral patterns while hiking or gardening to not confuse stinging insects into thinking that you are the real thing. Consider always wearing shoes and long pants and sweaters while working in the yard.

When faced with a bee or wasp, do your best not to panic. Sudden movements such as trying to swat a bee can result in a quick retaliation.

There may be just a few too many stinging insects buzzing around for your liking. If that is the case, give the experts here at Moyer Pest Control a call. There is a good chance that there may be a hive nearby that should be removed from your property before someone gets hurt. Our team of experts will help determine where the hive is as well as the type of stinging insect that has become a liability to have around.

We use Moyer Indoor Outdoor for pest control every three months. We have a contract with them where they come out and perform treatments. All the representatives are friendly, very polite, very efficient, and courteous. It's a pleasure to deal with them. They are very thorough. I haven't had any problems with them."

"We have Moyer come quarterly to spray for spiders/bugs and one time we ended up having Holly. She was so friendly, so knowledgeable, and so nice that I ended up calling and requesting to have her come every time. She is very thorough, but very personable and we are always satisfied! I highly recommend her!"

We were having a problem with yellow jackets and I looked at Moyer Indoor | Outdoor on the internet and about 10 minutes later I got a call from a representative. He was so knowledgeable and booked my appointment right away. Lisa, the technician, came out and sprayed and it's taken care of. She was great and very knowledgeable. I will definitely use your services again in the future and I will pass your name along to my friends. Thank you."

My overall experience with Moyer was very good. They were on time and professional. We have also used Moyer for installing a water softener. They did good work and answered all questions we had. From the first point of contact with Moyer we have had a good experience. Great customer service. We will use them in the future and highly recommend them."

Outstanding. They came out the next morning and, wow, they took care of my mice. They set bait traps in both the garage and the shed, they re-mediated the holes they could and talked me through the few things I needed to caulk and patch to prevent the mice from coming back. I'm really impressed with how much time they took to help make me more knowledgeable about the problem and how to prevent it. Both the office rep and the exterminator were top notch. I will definitely use them again!"

Found flying ants in my living room. They were coming from outside my window. There were probably 1,000 of them. Young man came on time and went to work. He assured me they would be gone and they were."
